I've constructed an HTML body that I want to email, but I must be
missing a switch. When I send it, I just see text. I'm googling for
the settings options but figured I'd fire this out in the meanwhile (if
for nothing else than a future search).
tia!

Programmatically?
Are you sending a content type in the header?
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Also you should construct both a HTML and plain text version of the mail
and send both with the appropriate headers as not all mail clients will
accept HTML messages.

Pop open an HTML mail you have on your system and view the source.
It's likely you want to create a "multipart" email, with one part
html/text and the other text. Googling how to create a multipart
email should set you on the right track.

Yes, programatically using the CDO emailing method. The body is largely
static text, except for the greeting. These are folks who expressed
interest in the FabMate estimating software I sold years ago.
Good point about sending both types. Suggestions for how to deliver?
Should I use something else besides CDO? I suppose I could create the
Constant Contact account I mentioned to my Sales consultant. That would
give us the ability to track opening/deleting/forwarding, iirc.
Thanks,

Thanks, Ted. Wasn't sure on the terms to search but will take this tip
and run with it. I may elect to go the Constant Contact route now if
not too cost prohibitive for the benefits of that approach.

Mike,
MailChimp.com has similar features, and you can have a free account.
